I have a lasting vivid memory of time I spent with Claudia many years ago. She was just starting highschool and I was taking some post graduate courses in law at Berkeley. Harry and Rosie would often have me over for supper and Claudia would usually be present. At these dinners, Claudia began to ask me about being a lawyer and was it interesting work. As a result of those conversations I spoke with my professor and asked him if I could bring my niece with me to a couple of classes, as she showed interest in the law. He agreed and Claudia joined me for several classes. It was a long ride back and forth from Berkeley. However, time went quickly as Claudia had many more thoughtful questions about the law than I had answers. Those memories will last forever. - Posted by: Charles Birks (Uncle) on: Jan 10, 2026
